Colors

Verse 1

Lub… dub… (heartbeat piano)

I was born with open hands,

But somehow you only felt the cold.

You say I’m quiet, distant lands,

A winter storm you can’t control.

But there’s a fire under all this snow,

A tenderness you never got to know.

I tried to give you light,

But you only saw the shadows on the wall.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I speak in feelings you can’t hear,

I love too loud, I break in fear.

And every time I try to explain,

It turns to thunder, turns to rain…

⸻

Chorus

I see the world in colors,

But you only see me black and white.

I’m reaching out in wonder,

You’re reading shadows in my light.

I’m trying just to show you

Every shade I hold inside—

But every time I open up,

It hurts,

It hurts when you don’t see me right.

⸻

Verse 2

I keep my distance, but I stay,

A quiet moon that never leaves.

I watch the chaos people make,

And wonder how they don’t see what I see.

You think I’m sharp, you think I’m mean,

But I’m just lost inside the in-between.

I feel the world in colors deep,

But when I speak, it twists, it bleeds.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I try to tell you what I feel,

But every word comes out unreal.

You say I’m fighting, but I’m just scared—

I just want someone who’s aware…

⸻

Chorus

I see the world in colors,

But you only see me black and white.

I’m reaching out in wonder,

You’re reading shadows in my light.

I’m trying just to show you

Every shade I hold inside—

But every time I open up,

It hurts,

It hurts when you don’t see me right.

⸻

Bridge

Deep, slow drum break — heartbeat fading

If you looked a little closer,

You’d see the warmth behind my quiet tone.

I’m not the storm you think I am—

I’m just afraid to stand alone.

I’ve got a thousand colors

That I’ve never let unfold…

But I’d show them all to you

If you just held on and didn’t let go.

⸻

Final Chorus (Bigger / Emotional / Exploding Open)

I see the world in colors—

A burning sunrise in my chest.

And all I ever wanted

Was someone who could see the rest.

I’m softer than I let on,

I’m brighter than the fears I fight…

But when you turn away from me

It shatters every painted light.

So let me be in color,

Not the cold you think you understand.

I’m fragile but I’m shining—

I’m breaking just to show my hands.

I’m holding all this beauty

That I’ve carried through the darkest nights…

But God, it hurts to stand here

Begging you

To finally see me right.

⸻

Outro

Heartbeat fades, violin holds a single trembling note.
